📋 Description

• Design, build, and maintain the LiveKit Rust SDK and the shared Rust core modules that power LiveKit’s multi-platform client ecosystem. • Lead by example, guide and mentor engineers with less Rust experience, promote shared code, best practices, and foster a culture of high quality, maintainable, and testable Rust code. • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (client SDKs, agents, cloud teams, PMs) to ensure smooth integration, shared standards, and consistent developer experience. • Own the testing, CI/CD, and release processes for Rust projects, ensuring reliability and stability across environments. • Profile and optimize performance in real-time, low-latency systems to push the boundaries of what’s possible in LiveKit’s SDKs. • Contribute to SDK architecture and design decisions, shaping the long term technical direction for both the Rust SDK and cross-platform SDK interoperability.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong expertise in Rust and experience delivering production-quality libraries or SDKs. • Collaborative and communicative, comfortable working across multiple teams and platforms. • Experience developing SDKs or libraries for multi-platform clients (mobile, web, or embedded). • Understanding of testing, CI/CD, and release best practices in modern Rust ecosystems. • (Bonus) Experience with Livekit techs. • (Bonus) Knowledge of real-time systems, networking, and performance optimization, and experience in WebRTC or related technologies.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity package • Health, dental, and vision benefits • Flexible vacation policy
